Yeah, he was “infuriated about something”. Near death, try it sometimes you freakin mook and do the world a favor.

So do I think he was right to sue? Not sure…but if the docs actually DID do something wrong and he almost died I can at least see the basis for it.

It is insane he got that much for going away, but I bet Jamarcus got more for going away and failing. It stinks, but it is part of the system…part that could use some changing for sure.

I don’t really begrudge him making more than BB because of the simple fact that Weis himself is the reason IMO that Quinn and Clausen got the money they did. Weis is a great OC and coach of QBs. He would do well to realize that those two roles are his limit.

By putting together your post above – you actually managed to squander another minute or two simply by your taking the time to gripe about not having enough minutes in your life and how you want some back.

You’re like the person that uses up three bucks worth of gas to drive all the way to (and from) the lowest price gas station – all to save a buck fifty.

Moral of the Story: veritas03, perhaps you should invest your precious resources more wisely.

Sun, 22 May 2011 01:02:03 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=131955#comment-1073994The reason you cannot pay football players or mens basketball players is “title 9”.
It means that any University that receives public funding must have as many women’s teams as mens teams and they all must be compensated the same. So if you paid the football players, you would also have to pay the women’s field hockey swimmers ect.. players the same amount.
I’m not here to claim what is right or wrong.
What I am saying is that is the reason football and mens basketball players will never be paid.
I welcome your thought as always.

When Charlie Weis isn’t cutting the mustard (and he sure as hell wasn’t despite all the bluster and self-annointment) — Weis walks with about seven million dollars. Failure rewarded.

Interesting.

Sat, 21 May 2011 19:15:39 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=131955#comment-1073805Good old Charlie Weis always was stalking the big payday.

Many will recall that Weis was/is a guy who sued his doctors in what he hoped was a monumental cash grab.

The reason? Weis was infuriated about something about his gastric bypass surgery.

[Gastric bypass surgery is for people who hate being grossly obese but lack the willpower to do anything about it – so they re-route their innards.]

Well, Weis struck out then in his attempt to retire on someone else’s dime. Weis’ lawsuit went to trial – meaning Weis refused all settlement offers looking to land the big one. Weis lost at trial – learned what the term “standard of care” meant.

Well, all wasn’t lost for Weis. Yeah, he was still physically enormous – but he was able to sell people on what he could do for their football team.

Anyone recall Weis boasting upon his hire that his team “would have a decided schematic advantage?”

Decided schematic advantage my ass.

But apparently crap like that worked and Weis is now flush with coin.

Mike Singletary once stated to Vernon Davis, “The best way you can help this team is to go hit the showers.”

Similarly, the University of Notre Dame made plain to Weis, “The best way you can help the university is to leave (immediately) – and we’ll pay you an enormous amount of money if you’ll just get the hell out here.”
